DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings and particularly to FIG. l, there is shown a wall structure in which an illustrative embodiment of the present invention is incorporated. The wall structure comprises a double wall panel construction in the form of a fence or rail having windows extending upwardly therefrom. The double wall panel rail construction comprises opposed panel members 10 defining opposite wall surfaces extending upwardly from the lloor to the top of the rail and which meet to form a corner. For convenience of description, the angularly related rails will be indicated 11 and 13. In accordance with this invention, a corner post 12, hereinafter more fully explained, located at the juncture of rails 11 and 13 provides the requisite stability and strength for the corner rail structure.
Panels 10 are mounted and supported in properly spaced relation by means including panel connectors, generally designated 14, extending in both a vertical and horizontal direction and adapted to receive the side edge portions of the supported panels 10. Panel connectors 14 can comprise a sheet metal fabrication of unitary, one-piece construction formed to provide a rectangular body portion having front face portions 16 and a rear face 18 joined and spaced apart by opposite side faces 20. Face portions 16 and face 18 are generally parallel and a pair of flange portions 22 extend outwardly from face portions 16 in a direction generally normal thereto, away from face 18. Face portions 16 and flange portions 22 thereby define a pair of corners adapted to receive the edge portions of adjacent panel members 101, with panel members 10 resting against face portions 16. The metal or other sheet material of which connectors 14 are fabri cated also is folded over at the outer end of flange portions 22 to provide cam surfaces 24 leading to opposed shoulder portions 26, the opposite edges of the Sheet material terminating within the opening provided between flange portions 22, as clearly :shown for example iny FIG. 2.
Connector 14 also is formed to provide an internal channel having inwardly diverging side walls 30` leading to a rear wall 32 and providing a restricted inlet opening 34 through face 18. Channel 30-34 extends the full length of connector 14 in alignment with the opening between flange portions 22, the channel proper being entirely confined within the rectangular body portion 30-34 of the connector as shown. Panel connectors of this type are shown in application Serial No. 703,955.
Each panel member 10 (FIG. 1) includes a body 33 of gypsum, wallboard or any other suitable material, covered with a skin 35 of metal or other thin sheet material which can be'painted or decorated tol provide any desired effect. Skin 35 extends beyond panel body 33 at its opposite side edge portions and is formed to provide an inturned skirt adapted to be inserted between the flange portions 22 of adjacent panel connectors 14. The skirts are formed to provide inturned shoulders engaging behind connector shoulders 26 with a snap fit thereby holding the panel bodies 33 against connector face portions 16 as shown in Serial No. 703,955.
Spacer clips 36 (FIGS. 3 and 4) of generally Z-shaped configuration are provided for maintaining panel connectors 18, whether horizontal or vertical, in properly spaced relation. Spacer clips 36 each comprise a web body 38 spanning the space between a pair of opposed panel connectors 14 as shown in FIG. 4 and having at opposite sides thereof locking heads which lfit within channels 30-34 to interlockingly engage a pair of panel connectors 14 at opposite sides of spaced clip 36. Oppositely directed legs 40 and 42 are provided at opposite ends of body 38 and are recessed at the lateral edges thereof as at 44 defining ears 46 having bearing surfaces contacting the rear faces 18 of opposed panel connectors 18. This spacer clip is disclosed in detail in patent application Serial No. 777,438 filed simultaneously herewith and assigned to the same assignee as the instant application.
A significant feature of the present invention is the provision of corner post 12, which can be readily assembled and dismantled while possessing the requisite stability and strength to provide a firm, secure corner wall construction. As shown in FIG. 2, corner post 12 comprises a pair of Vertical panel connectors 14 extending side-byside and disposed in an opposed relationship with another pair of vertical panel connectors 14 also extending sideby-side. In accordance with the present invention, a clip 50 is provided for interlocking the four panel connectors together. `Clip 50 comprises a body 52 spanning the space between the paired, oppositely facing panel connectors 14. Channel clip 50 is generally channel-shaped, being of inverted, generally U-shaped transverse configuration having opposite side walls 54 which are provided with extensions 56 at their respective opposite ends. Extensions 56 are adapted to be inserted ywithin channels 30-34 with a friction fit to provide a snug-fitting interlocking engagement between channel clip 50 and panel connectors 14. If desired, more than one channel clip 50 can be provided and spaced longitudinally along the lengths of panel connectors 14 in the corner post construction.
Paneled rail 11 comprises a pair of opposed panel connectors 14 extending horizontally along the upper edge of rail 11 (see FIG. l) for receiving the upper edges of panel members 10. The ends of horizontally extending connectors 14 abut the side walls of the vertically extending connectors 14 which form corner post 12. As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of panel connector clips 60 having right angled flanges 62 overlapping each other are provided for joining the vertical and horizontal panel connectors 14 together. Panel connector clips `60 have serrated edges 64 insertable in channels 30-34 of connectors 14 so as to secure the same with a friction fit. FIG. 4 shows a similar panel connector clip 60 joining the horizontal connectors 14 of the other right angularly related rail 13 with vertically extending connectors 14 which form a portion or extension of corner post 12.
In providing windows for rails 11 and 13, paired elongated cover plates 70 are used each having right angularly related faces 72 and 74, the latter being provided with a shouldered skirt 76 substantially parallel to face 72 for snap-fitted engagement with the horizontally extending panel connectors 14. Faces 72 have inturned flanges 78 extending in a direction normal thereto, the opposed flanges 78 defining a channel for receiving a resilient elastic seal 80 in which a window pane 82 is mounted. Seal 80 supports window pane 82 and is of a generally U- shaped configuration in transverse cross section, having opposite side walls v84 provided with lips 86 overlapping CII a portion of faces 72 of cover plates 70 and adhesively bonded thereto. Similar cover plates 70 extend vertically along corner post 12 (FIG. 2) adjacent rail 11 and rail 13 to secure the vertical edges of window pane 82 and to close portions of corner post 12. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 4, it will be seen that rail 13 terminates at the paired panel connectors 14 which constitute an extension of corner post 12 and that identical means are` employed for securing a window pane 82 thereto. j
An elongated channel cover plate (FIG. 2) having side walls 92 is provided for bridging the two outer exposed panel connectors 14 located at corner post 12 for closing a portion of the same and presenting a substantially continuous, attractive, outside wall surface. Walls 92 are formed to provide shouldered skirts 94 for snapfitted engagement behind the shouldered panel connector flan ge portions 22.
To complete the outside enclosure for corner post 12., an elongated cover having right angularly related faces 102 and 104 is provided as shown in IFIG. 2. Faces 102 and 104 have flanges 106 and 10S-extending ina direction normal to their respective faces and received between shouldered fiange portions 22 of two angularly related panel connectors 14 to close corner post 12, ange 106 being shouldered for snap-fit engagement with the associated panel connector.
A feature of the present invention is the provision of a cover 110 for closing the top ends of corner post 12. Cover 110 is of a substantially rectangular shape in plan and has a body 112 adapted to rest on the exposed top end of corner post 12 and a peripheral depending flange 114 encompassing the end portions of corner post 12 with a friction fit and abutting the top edges of angularly related window panes 82.
From the foregoing it is seen that the present invention fully accomplishes its intended objects and provides an improved double walled rail construction provided with strong, durable window mounting and sealing means. The angularly related rails are joined at a corner post construction formed of panel connectors oriented in a reinforced, box-like structure for added strength and rigidity and detachably interlocked by means of a channel clip. Covers are placed on the top end and the exposed portions of the panel connectors to provide an attractive corner post having smooth, substantially continuous wall surfaces.
